My Own Beginning
How beautiful it has been
to have babies in my life,
to share the immersive joy
of having a son and a daughter
with their wonderful dad.
And now to hold and cherish
a grandson and a granddaughter,
be a part of their beginnings
and their expansion.
Sensations of love across generations
that rouse something timeless and true,
lead me back in wonder at the
beauty and vibrancy
of my own birth.
Such softness and pleasure
in recognizing that truth.
Like listening to summer rain
as thunder rumbles
in a place far away
or floating in the ocean
surrounded by
shifting, lifting fog.
I feel safe
in the flow
and wholeness of me,
recognize its presence
from my own beginning
and all along the way.
